Sigh, yes, I know, croping the crap, abrupt transitions, gradients (I dunno, crap flats?, I hate flats), no colour, deliberately blured stars (to hide hideous artifacts), why do ppl bother with RGB, its such a pain, I deserved a hiding right there with this image.
And I tried selecting out the galaxy and boosting saturation on the stars. Doesnt work, cause there just isnt any colour in the RGB flats!. The RGB subs are just awefull. I think the smaking colour stretch on the galaxy saturated the RGB subs to max on each=white.
So, I should select and stretch the stars less at the start of course, but I broke the golden rule, and croped early in PS so its very hard to add another layer to start star processing again with the original sub stack, so basically its all back to the beginning from scratch.
Im over it, ill save a full Sid for a rainy day I think.
Anyway, thanks for you kind words never the less, the galaxy itself was Ok at least...........hang on, I could just delete all the stars outside the galaxy,mmmmmmmmm.
